Deal | The 16-inch Lenovo Legion Pro 5i OLED gaming laptop with RTX 5070 Ti enjoys a near $800 discount

The 16-inch Lenovo Legion Pro 5i gaming laptop delivers smooth performance on its WQXGA OLED display, powered by an RTX 5070 Ti GPU. An Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor also enables it to excel during intensive video editing. Surprisingly adaptable, the Lenovo laptop is now discounted by nearly $800 before Black Friday.

When using coupon codes LEGIONRMN6 and EARLYHOLIDEAL, Lenovo has slashed the price on several configurations. The version with a 165Hz refresh rate OLED screen and 32GB of DDR5 memory is $1675.49. Gamers can also choose the 240Hz alternative with 16GB or 32GB of memory for $1680.19/$1722.49. With current RAM shortages, buyers should consider adding memory before prices rise further.

At 5.3 lbs/2.4 kg, the Lenovo laptop is light enough to carry to work or school without inconvenience. Although a 24-zone RGB keyboard makes its gaming intentions clear, the modern, sleek design also looks natural in offices. Notebookcheck’s review of the Legion Pro 5 appreciated its metal-reinforced cover. That said, fingerprints can become a nuisance. For an even thinner or better-built laptop, the Razer Blade 16 costs considerably more with the identical GPU.

The Legion Pro 5i is performance-focused

The Core Ultra 9 processor inside the Lenovo laptop balances strong multi-core performance with efficiency. Still, it’s the discreet RTX 5070 Ti graphics card that establishes its gaming prowess. Even without activating Blackwell features like multi-frame generation, the results are impressive on its 16-inch 2560 x 1600 screen.

Unfortunately, the Legion Pro 5i's high-end performance can come at the expense of excessive noise. Notebookcheck observed that competitors like the MSI Vector 16 HX are quieter at full load. Even so, when idle for most of the time, the gaming laptop won’t attract attention.

The Lenovo laptop also has some surprising connectivity shortcomings. Owners won’t find a Thunderbolt 5 port for the fastest transfer speeds or power delivery. However, the discounted version now supports Wi-Fi 7 to take advantage of upgraded wireless networks.

Despite a few downsides, the OLED gaming laptop featured during the sale shouldn’t disappoint gamers. Its bright and responsive screen is as impressive as any alternative in its price range. Meanwhile, a potent RTX 5070 Ti GPU produces a higher 3DMark score than many of its rivals.
